In solidarity with the people of Manipur, N. K. Premachandran, MP, will stage a one-day hunger strike at Chinnakada on July 13.
United Democratic Front (UDF) convener M. M. Hassan will inaugurate the protest and RSP secretary Shibu Baby John will inaugurate the concluding session.
Leaders of various parties, elected representatives, and socio-cultural leaders will participate in the protest. Mr. Premachandran had sent two letters to the Prime Minister demanding that an all-party delegation should be sent to resolve the issue and restore peace.
“There was no response to the letters and the hunger strike is being held to mark our protest against the Central government’s stand,” said the MP at a press meet on Tuesday.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
